Absolutely horrible.  

It's obvious that many "pro-life" conservatives don't really care about babies.  They just want to teach pregnant girls a lesson in "personal responsibility" or whatever.  Ever noticed how conservatives oppose providing assistance to poor single mothers who need help caring for vulnerable infants?  If a mother can't afford to pay for a sick child's treatment, those on the right will say it's "her responsibility" and that "tax-payers shouldn't be burdened".  Such much for protecting innocent life!

Not all pro-lifers are like that, so calm down if you think I'm saying that all are.  It is, nonetheless, obvious that too many are, especially anti-choice men.

If there is even a chance that denying a woman an abortion will kill her, an abortion should be granted.  Even if you're against abortion, I don't get how risking the mother's life is ever justified.  If a woman feels a pregnancy is physically endangering her, and an experienced doctor believes she might be correct, no questions should be asked.  No government red tape should get in the way of a potentially life-saving procedure.

None of this justifies the killing of an unborn life. 

The only POSSIBLE exception I would make on the abortion question is if continuing the pregnancy would, truly, kill the mother, and that the abortion was an act of immediate self-defense.  I define this extremely narrowly; such an act would have to truly be something that would prevent a mother from dying in the next half-hour or something like this.  Even here, I am reluctant to give an inch, as the pro-infanticide faction will then take a mile. 

As far as ignorance goes, your credentials along those lines are presented every time you log on and post.

That's pretty awful.  You don't even know if the fetus would survive, but don't save the mother!
